When does PK start receiving head coaching opportunities? And how interested would he be?

He's been an elite DC for nearly 15 years. He's already been getting HC opportunities which is why I believe these rumors of him having no desire to be a HC.

It is interesting, because I doubt most football fans know who he is. I’ve never seen him do a press conference or interview, and honestly I barely knew what he looked like until the ESPN cameras showed him occasionally during the Aggy game.

The Broyles list is very interesting:
Dirk Koetter, OC, Boise - Koetter was HC for Boise from 1998-2000 and was a key part of their surge to relevance over the past 25 years.
Al Golden, DC, Notre Dame - HC for Temple 2006-2010 and HC for Miami 2011-2015
Tosh Lupoi, DC, Oregon - Everyone's favorite bagman and hypothetical, "let's get him as DL coach" target.  Was on Sark's staff at UW in 2012-2013; averted a show cause...
Tom Allen, DC, Penn State - Indiana HC the last time they were relevant (2019-2020), 2019 had DeBoer as OC.  2019-2020 had Penix as QB
Tim Beck - the Vandy version.

Lots of familiar names - many are retreads.

If you listen to him in his interviews, he's not a camera loving personality. Lot of "ummmms' and probably doesn't care about all the big picture stuff a head coach has to do. Contrast that with Choate who had a lot of energy and you just feel that he was a head coach with an assistants job. PK is just a coach and derives all his confidence and personality when just talking and coaching ball. 

He's not a head coach.

One of the more revealing interviews I found of PK was back at UW right after Coach Petersen left (2020) -- one year before he came to Texas.

So...with how the D and especially the secondary played this year and with Barron winning the Thorpe, who's responsible? Up until this year, the secondary was a huge liability and deservingly so we had been bitching about Gideon and Joseph. With this year's drastic improvement and success, Is it because Gideon and Joseph finally got their shit together? Was Mukuba the missing piece? Is it Nansen?

I think Mukuba was a big piece of the secondary getting unfucked.

The pass rush this year is extremely elite. That was the downfall vs UW (did their OL win the Moore award?) Not the secondary

Ya the secondary’s improvement is probably due in no small part to pass rush. And really, the opposing qb lineup wasnt exactly the 2008 big 12

It’s uptick in talent but more so an uptick in health and experience.  Barron was taken advantage of versus TCU, UW and missed half Houston.  He was a menace to opponents in 2022 and 2024 but not so much in 2023.  Health was probably the first difference.  Taaffe is more experienced.

It is an uptick in pass rush but also pass rush contain.  The LB coverage was probably more consistent as well.

And our opponents offensive talent/experience is pretty weak particularly at QB but also Oline and WR.

It is all those things.

Yeah. We didn't have a pass rush the last two years and that was precisely why we lost to Washington. Now if you hold the ball against us you end up on the sideline watching your backup trying to win the game with an ice pack on your throwing shoulder.

He actually has said he has no desire to be a head coach. Things do change but it’ll probably have to be a pretty comfortable job for him like maybe Boise. But we’ll see.

I've read the same.  He's not interested in HC but you never know.

I'm more concerned about him leaving to become an NFL DC.  

We win it all this year and he'll need a mega fat raise and several hookers.
